What does 200,000 feel like?

*** Trimming the July Old School Block of the Month*** 

First let's do our Old School block! This is a very interesting block to do. Because it's on point we need to trim the inside before adding the triangles. See my video for a demo on that and trimming to the final size.

*** 200,000 Quilters World Wide!!*** 

Holy cow! what DOES having a community of 200,000 feel like? It is an honor to have created a quilting community that over 200,000 quilters world wide want to be part of!! I am thrilled to have each and everyone of you there.

I can remember getting ready to start this community. I had already run communities at other places but quilters left those over time (hello Delphi boards, Yahoo groups, Flicker, twitter,  and my own Quilt Mashup Forum!).  When I got o Facebook I really wondered how 'long' it would last.  8 years later  we are going strong with no looking back!
